THE TRAINER QA
What’s the best way to relax my mind and body after a workout?
(A) Taking a few minutes post-workout to stretch the areas of your body that hold tension while taking five deep, slow breaths is an excellent way of decompressing. This mini cooldown routine may not seem like much, but it will help your recovery time and prevent injury, while making you more aware of your body and helping you to release stress.
